	Diana Mitford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lady Mosley's prison time failed to disturb her eccentric approach to life, remarking in her later years that she never grew fraises des bois that tasted as good as those she cultivated in the prison garden.
		Diana Mosley's 80th birthday was celebrated by a huge birthday dinner at the Eccleston Hotel in London, with an impressive turn-out of many figures on the British Right, at which she stood and made a 20 minute speech.
		Diana Mosley, however, continued to admire Hitler and the tenets of Nazism throughout her life but was open in addressing the Führer's faults.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Obituary: Lady Diana Mosley
		Diana Mosley's life changed from that of glamorous society hostess to one of notoriety as wife of the founder of the British Union of Fascists, the Blackshirts.
		Diana was the third of Lord and Lady Redesdale's six daughters, the Mitford girls who dazzled London society in the 1920s and 30s.
		Diana had been introduced to Hitler in 1934 by her sister Unity, who was mesmerised by him.

	Diana Mosley
		Diana was arrested suddenly on 29 June 1940, and obliged to leave behind her ten-week-old baby — whom she was breastfeeding — and a toddler of eighteen months, as well as her two older boys.
		Diana quickly became the leader of that small pack of prisoners, taking her place at the head of the table at which the British Union women ate their meals, acting as an organizer and comforter to the others.
		While Mosley was building his movement, she had stood back from his day-to-day political activities, well protected from the rough-house, choosing to spend a good deal of time in Germany, enjoying her friendship with Hitler and Goebbels and other senior Nazis, and working on a commercial project that was supposed to secure Mosley's political funding.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| Obituary: Diana Mosley
		Diana continued as Mosley's public mistress for three years, tolerant of his infidelities; she arrived by seaplane to join him on Capri, her face bandaged after plastic surgery to repair car-crash damage, only to have him decamp with a rival.
		Mosley offered the services of the BUF to the British government, but he was loathed as a potential collaborator should the Nazis invade; part of the Labour party's price for joining a coalition government may have been his internment in Brixton prison in 1940.
		Mosley reorganised the BUF as the Union Movement post-war and ran for parliament opposing non-white immigration in 1959.

	Morally handicapped by Brooke Allen
		Diana Mosley’s character is in essence a negative one: her life, her gestures, her opinions were quite conscious reflections of those of her man. She deliberately allowed herself to be obscured by her husband’s gaudier personality, as she had been obscured during childhood and adolescence by her powerful older siblings, Nancy and Tom.
		Diana’s time in Paris, where she stayed with the painter Paul-César Helleu and his family, was her first real journey outside of the family orbit, and it came as a revelation of freedom and sophistication.
		Diana didn’t have the excuse of stupidity, like Unity; she was intelligent, cultivated, and intimately connected with some of the most brilliant and admirable people in England.

	WAG: Jan Dalley's Diana Mosley
		As Jan Dalley resoundingly shows, Diana Mosley meets the biographer's greatest demands: she came from an interesting, even eccentric family with a long history, and as an adult she managed to get caught up in and even influence her era's direction.
		But it was Diana's marriage (at eighteen) to Bryan Guinness, whose father was the Minister of Agriculture and the director of the Guinness Brewery, that seemed to solidify her position in the upper class after spending her childhood careening from one financial setback to the next.
		Though, like Diana, Mosley was married with children, they began a poorly concealed affair that, a few years after the death of Mosley's wife and Diana's divorce from Guinness, finally ended in marriage.

	Books of The Times: Adoring Fascism, Despite 'Tricky Bits'
		Diana Mosley's detachment, and the glaring degree to which her biographer becomes complicit in it, resonate throughout this morally tone-deaf book.
		A biographer ready to describe Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, as "handsome in the Rudolph Valentino style then in fashion, elegant, witty and very charming to women" is well equipped to celebrate her subject's social and cosmetic virtues.
		Diana was a cousin of Winston Churchill's, a darling of Evelyn Waugh's (who dedicated "Vile Bodies" to the Guinnesses) and an unlikely friend of Lytton Strachey's and Dora Carrington's, even if she found Bloomsbury tastes "dreary" and "middle-class"; Diana's own aesthetic ran toward pink, blue and gold luxe.

	A scandalous life - theage.com.au
		Diana Mosley, who died in Paris on Monday aged 93, was that “famous awful person” — her words — scandalous beauty, friend to Adolf Hitler and wife of the leader of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), Sir Oswald Mosley.
		Diana was intrigued by his ideas — “I followed him politically absolutely blindly” — and in love: “I knew it would never end except with death.” They briefly encountered each other at parties; they were indiscreet among aristo-Brits holidaying on the Venice Lido.
		Mosley had restyled the flshirted BUF in the militaristic German and Italian manner, but a violent rally in 1934 and accentuated anti-semitism had forced the organisation out of mainstream politics.
